John Abraham to join SRK in Yash Raj Films’ ‘Pathan’?

A few days ago, it was reported that Shah Rukh Khan will be teaming up with director Siddharth Anand in a film called ‘Pathan’ helmed by Yash Raj Films.

The latest buzz now suggests that John Abraham will be teaming up with the superstar in this big budget film.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Not much is known about the film’s subject and what roles Shah Rukh and John play in Pathan. But it is said that both are pitted against each other in this film and this would surely make for an exciting watch, considering how well audiences received War. However, Pathan is not in the zone of War and is set in a world different from the Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff starrer altogether.”

A trade official told the publication, “Shah Rukh Khan has not had a great run at the box office. But his stardom is intact and audiences are bound to come in big numbers if he does the correct film. Also, he’s secure and has shared screen space with other prominent actors in films like Happy New Year, Om Shanti Om etc. John Abraham, meanwhile, is doing very well and he, too, is secure. And with Pathan, he takes the next step of doing big-budget action films. In short, if the script and execution are spot-on, nothing can stop Pathan from becoming one of the biggest hits of recent times!”

Previously, Yash Raj Films and Anand worked together in action hit ‘War’. The announcement for the new film is expected to be tied in with Yash Raj Films 50th anniversary, set to take place in September.
